Playable Elites in Halo 5.

Games Halo 5: Guardians

So 343 where are the playable Elites/Sangheili?
Now before the haters of playable Elites appear your new requirement to post here needs you to understand both sides. And also to have played at least Halo Reach Invasion 3x.

So as the Halo community likes to complain about infection (a gamemode missing for one game and now everyones complaining whereas Elites have been missing for two and very few complained.) I thought I would complain about the lack of playable Elites.
Now the most common excuse used is ‘Elites are overpowered their hard to hit in the head.’ Using this logic then the; Answer, Nornfang,As Victorian and every other incredibly strong weapon should be removed by that logic.

Now people say that Elite player models have stronger shields. This is true but not by much maybe an increase by 3 percent? But it was really only noticeable after an Elite got jacked out of their vechile, the Elite would have just enough shields to survive one headshot or one extra bullet from anything after being jacked. Notice how it’s only after being jacked.
Elites can run faster is another excuse for them being removed. Again I can’t deny this fact but again it’s only barely. They can catch up to a Spartan running away but it really all comes down to Lore and biology. (And may the lecture begin.) Now Sangheilios which you all know is the Sangheili homeworld, has a slightly higher gravity than Earth. (Don’t quote me but about 0.2-0.4 G’s higher.) This by Darwin’s theory of evolution. (Animals adapting to the environment.) Would allow the Sangheili to be much more athletic on lower gravity worlds.(such as Earth) along with this comes increased jump height.(which is present in Reach gameplay.) So now with the year 11 science lesson over we can deduce that Sangheili by the LORE the LORE L…O…R…E…LORE are physically stronger than Humans.

BUNJIE*(spell check please?) Reflected the Sangheili in lore by making the smallest tweaks to gameplay as an Elite. So the original purpose of this post, (before I make an essay on how gravity affects creatures.) Is to ask why 343 removed them and won’t return them. Please answer.

It’s Bungie. And yeah, I want Elites, but mostly because I want more customization. I didn’t really use the Elites except for when I felt like lulzing about in Halo.

This post has made me regain confidence in the Halo community as it isn’t an immediate hate comment saying Elites are OP. To you sir I salute.

To me, it’s one of those “You take it for granted, until it’s gone” things. I liked the customization. I didn’t use it, but I liked the possibility to use it. Now, I’m restricted in what I can use, that being Spartan Helmets and Spartan Armor. Oh, and Visors.

Have you considered the fact that elite armour lacks the ability to sprint, thrust and ground pound?

They can add it in as the description for freebooter includes: Nanofabricated Armor panels hint at a Sangheili trade link. This shows that humans and Sangheili are trading technology. Add a little story improve some AI and bam you have an Elite that can take on a Spartan.

Also Reach. Jetpacks sprint evade ETC.

I only want the elites back if they are proper elites not these ugly monstrosities.
